In the aftermath of the battle Garadon became disillusioned with Darnath Lysander's reckless leadership which caused unnecessary casualties and contacted Chapter Master Vladimir Pugh, who had Lysander recalled to the Phalanx to stand before the Chapter Council. Garadon later played a key role in the Invasion of Taladorn.

When Captain Julius Vogen took command of the 3rd Company, he saw Garadon's potential and promoted him to a position within the hallowed 1st Company as a Veteran Sergeant.

There, Garadon was forced to take command after his Captain Opara was killed and led 6 surviving Battle Brothers in rear assaults.

Garadon earned a name for himself during the Nosfer Planetstrike, when the 3rd Company became stranded behind Necron lines under Lord Zangeneb.

During his first decade of service Garadon earned high amounts of commendations but was not offered any promotions. Recruited into the Chapter from the orbitals of Callisto, his wealthy family were glad to see him depart for fate had cursed him with a stubborn and straightforward nature.
